ssh over port 80 but port 80 isnt available

profoX · 05-23-2006, 02:56 PM

I want to be able to log into my linux box at home from school.
The problem is that my school's proxy server blocks every port except port 80.

Ofcourse I could configure my sshd to use port 80,
but that's no option, because my provider (Telenet Internet Belgium)
blocks all ports below 1000 or something like that.

What's the best way to get around this problem?

Thanks in advance

I believe you can use ssh over http proxy tunneling. I haven't ever tried this, but I think the gist of it is that you enter your proxy server address and port (80) and then specify that ssh uses port 6000 (or whatever) for the connection and it goes out via http port 80 but then comes in at whatever port you specify.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe google will... http://sebsauvage.net/punching/

You did help me by pointing me in the right direction.

Good night!

goto http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/, it allows you to extend ssh to work through a proxy server, even if it is Authenticated.
